Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit arrangement for Generation of a stop signal for a station search in a radio receiver in which a received signal is demodulated and further one of the respective Field strength dependent signal is derived.
- the Detect radio receiver When searching for a station worth receiving, the Detect radio receiver in search mode independently, whether the tuning was done in the middle of the transmitter and whether the Transmitter has sufficient field strength. If those Conditions are met, a stop signal must be generated which stops the search.
- An AM radio receiver is known from US-A-4,580,285, at which a received signal is demodulated, and the one Circuit arrangement for generating a stop signal for a Has channel search.
- a scan stop signal will appear generated by evaluating these two signals when the DC voltage component below and the field strength above one predetermined value.
- GB-A-2 100 084 is an automatic one Channel search circuit for an FM radio receiver known in which the received field strength of a received one Broadcast transmitter signal and one out of one DC component of the demodulated signal derived Signal that is the measure of a deviation from an ideal Center tuning based on an S-shaped course of the DC component over the frequency deviation indicates with each other to form a seek stop signal be linked if the DC voltage component in the demodulated signal below a predetermined value and the Reception field strength is above a predetermined value.
- the circuit arrangement according to the invention with the features of The main claim has the advantage that the Circuit arrangement for deriving the search stop signal demodulated signal in digital form with a first Sampling rate is supplied to a within the arrangement second sampling rate is reduced.
- the demodulation of the received broadcast signal with a very high sampling rate and thus with low Quantization errors and thus low signal distortion can take place while the derivation of the DC voltage signal and also the reception field strength signal with a low one Sampling rate and thus with significantly reduced computing effort can be done.
- the derivation of the DC component of the demodulated The signal is preferably such that the DC voltage component through low-pass filtering and Amount formation is derived.
- Low-pass filter provided which is designed as an FIR filter is a number of one sampling period each delayed to each other according to the first sampling rate Signals with coefficients are added together and the Number of signals equal to the ratio of the first Sampling rate to the second sampling rate is.
- the first Sampling rate is 228 kHz
- the second sampling rate is the same 9.5 kHz and that with 23 delay elements the number the signals is 24.
- Stereo multiplex signal MPX fed which is a sampling rate of 228 kHz, which is advantageous for the highlighted previous digital signal processing Has. Since in the circuit arrangement according to the invention much lower sampling rate will suffice, that will Stereo multiplex signal MPX over a low pass 2 to one Circuit 3 for reducing the sampling rate by the divider 24 headed.
- the resulting signal is another Low pass 4 supplied, the cutoff frequency is very low, so that practically only the DC voltage component, of which at 5 the amount is formed.
- This is in a comparator 6 with a with 7 supplied constants C1 of, for example, 0.07 (related to the maximum amplitude) compared. Is the Amount of the direct voltage component smaller than the constant C1, a 1 appears at the output x ⁇ y of the comparator 6, which is fed to an input of an AND circuit 8.
- a signal FST is supplied which corresponds to the field strength of the received signal.
- This signal will low pass filtered at 10 and at 11 with a constant C2 compared. If the field strength is greater than one through the Constant C2 specified value, so appears at the output x ⁇ y of the comparator 11 is a 1, which is also connected to the AND circuit 8 is directed. If both conditions are met, that takes Stop signal SLS at the output 12 of the AND circuit 8 also level 1.
- Fig. 2 shows an advantageous embodiment of the low-pass filter 2 (Fig. 1). It is designed as a 23rd order FIR filter, which has the special properties of a comb filter.
- the stereo multiplex signal fed to the input 21 is delayed 23 times by one sampling period each (z -1 ).
- the input signal and the signal delayed by n times are each multiplied by a coefficient K, which is 1/24 in a preferred exemplary embodiment. While the signal supplied has a bit width of 16, the products of the delayed signals with the coefficients are 24 bits wide in order to reduce quantization errors.
- the products are then summed up in summing circuits and, after a format conversion at 22 at output 23, form the low-pass filtered stereo multiplex signal with a bit width of 16.
- the entrance 31 is either that Stereo multiplex signal MPX after it Sampling rate reduction or the field strength signal FST feedable. Both start with a first constant K1 multiplied.
- the output of multiplier 32 represents a 24 bit wide signal that the Adding circuit 33 is supplied. The sum is after a Format conversion 34 into a 16 bit wide signal by one Sampling period delayed at 35 and after an evaluation with a constant K2 at 36 another input of the Adders 33 fed.
- the filtered Signal that is the DC component of the Stereo multiplex signal or the low-pass filtered Field strength signal are taken.
